Welcome to the inaugural Pac-12 Hotline all-walk-on team, which, truth be told, is not a team in the standard sense.I tried trust me, I tried to compile a 22-man team (plus specialists) consisting of players who were walk-ons this season or were originally walk-ons but have been since placed on scholarship.The only criteria: Players had to contribute on a regular basis at their position.They didnt have to star or even start, but they couldnt be primarily practice-squad players; they couldnt play only on special teams and qualify for a spot on offense or defense.I came close to filling out the 11-man defense, and I have a quarterback (of course). But there were far too few offensive linemen and receivers to allow for an 11-player offense.(In contrast, there was no shortage of kickers.)So I called an audible.Its now an all-walk-on team in the sense of the best 11: The most impactful current or former walk-ons this season.1. Washington State QB Luke Falk. Had, by many measures, a disappointing season, particularly in his performance outside Pullman. But with so many career passing records to his name, hell be remembered as one of the greatest walk-ons in conference history.2. Washington DB Myles Bryant: Earned honorable mention all-conference recognition from the coaches for both his play and his value: Ideally, he would have spent the season at nickel but was forced to the corner because of injuries. Led UW with eight passes defended.3. Cal TB Patrick Laird: Finished sixth in the conference in rushing (among tailbacks) while averaging 102.5 yards per game. Likely would have spent the season in a reserve role but for the September injury to starter Tre Watson.4. Utah K Matt Gay: First-team all-conference and winner of the Lou Groza Award as the nations top kicker, Gay converted 27-of-31 field goals. Better at what he does than anyone on this list, but kickers must be assessed based on value relative to a top-tier, every-down players.(And please note: Gay is serving as proxy for all the walk-on/former walk-on kickers in the conference, including Oregons Aidan Schneider, USCs Chase McGrath and Washington States Erik Powell.)5. Washington OLB Ryan Bowman: Destructive force off the edge who played every game and recorded 8.5 tackles-for loss and 5.5 sacks. That TFL total, by the way, was second on the team. (I expected Bowman to earn honorable-mention recognition.)6. Cal C Addison Ooms: Former walk-on who has started for the Bears the past two seasons. Will be a preseason-all conference candidate in 18.7. Arizona LG Christian Boettcher: Was in the OL rotation last season, earned a scholarship, then flourished in 2017 (started every game). Has another year of eligibility but is headed to law school instead.8. USC AP Matt Lopes: Named second-team all-conference in the special teams/all-purpose category but also produced at safety in reserve role. Finished with 26 tackles.9. Cal ILB Gerran Brown: After star Devante Downs suffered a season-ending injury, Brown, a redshirt sophomore, filled the void. And he did so admirably, with 61 tackles (fourth on the team).10. Arizona DL Justin Belknap: Two-year starter who missed the Territorial Cup because of injury. Recorded 22 tackles, in addition to 2.5 sacks and a fumble recovery.11. Colorado DB Ryan Moeller: Played in 10 games as a hybrid linebacker/safety, finished with 44 tackles and five pass break-ups. Also a first-team all-conference pick in 2016 for his play on special teams.Also considered: UCLA WR Christian Pabico, Cal S/KR Ashtyn Davis, Utah DE Nick Heninger, Arizona State LB Abe Thompson, Washington State linebacker Dillon Sherman and Cal RB Malik McMorris.*** Send suggestions, comments and tips (confidentiality guaranteed) to pac12hotline@bayareanewsgroup.com*** Follow me on Twitter: @WilnerHotline*** Pac-12 Hotline is not endorsed or sponsored by the Pac-12 Conference, and the views expressed herein do not necessarily reflect the views of the Conference.
